Solar water heaters do this, They can be simple affairs mounted on a house roof, or on a larger scale mirrors can be used to capture radiation and focus it on a heat absorber.

When is heat produced by radiant energy?

Heat is produced by radiant energy when an object absorbs the electromagnetic radiation and converts it into thermal energy. This occurs when the radiant energy has enough intensity and is absorbed by the material of the object, causing the molecules to vibrate and generate heat.


What relationship exist between thermal and radiant energy?

Thermal energy is the energy associated with heat and can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation. Radiant energy is a form of energy that is transmitted in the form of electromagnetic waves. In some cases, thermal energy can be converted into radiant energy, such as when an object emits heat in the form of infrared radiation.


Why heat and light energy called radiant energy?

Heat and light energy are called radiant energy because they travel in the form of electromagnetic waves that radiate outwards from a source. This form of energy can travel through empty space and does not require a medium to propagate, making it radiant.


What is a difference between heat energy and radiant energy?

Heat energy is the transfer of thermal energy between objects due to a difference in temperature, typically through conduction, convection, or radiation. Radiant energy, on the other hand, is a form of energy that travels in waves or particles, such as light or electromagnetic radiation, and does not require a medium to transfer. Heat energy is a specific type of energy related to temperature difference, whereas radiant energy is a broader category that includes various forms of energy propagation.
